Nordtest Catalogue

The Nordtest Catalogue 2006 provides an overview of all test methods, technical reports, general documents and position papers published under the Nordtest umbrella before 2006. The reports and methods published after 2006 are not included in the catalogue. A new cataloque is under construction.

Nordtest

Nordtest is a trademark of conformity assessment. The emphasis of Nordtest is to develop, promote and innovate Nordic test methods and pre-normative activity. Nordtest endeavours to remove technical barriers to trade and promotes the concept: “Approved once, accepted everywhere”.

This handbook is written for environmental testing laboratories in the Nordic countries, in order to give support to the implementation of the concept of measurement uncertainty for their routine measurements.

The Troll Book is now translated to nine languages and more versions are in the pipeline. All can be from Nordtest free of charge. This new updated version in English can be downloaded free of charge here.

A cooperation among road authorities in Finland, Norway and Sweden has created a new Nordtest method NT BUILD 515 for hydrophobic impregnation of concrete. The road authorities of the Nordic countries allocate, yearly, vast sums on the hydrophobic surface protection of reinforced concrete structures (e.g. bridges) in order to reduce the risk for chloride induced corrosion, caused by the extensive use of de-icing salts during harsh winters or sea water ingress.
